Perfect Pie Crust
3 tablespoons vinegar (secret to making it flakey)
1 egg, beaten
1 pound lard
6 cups sifted flour
Put the vinegar in a 1-cup measuring cup and fill the remainder with water. Add the beaten egg to a small bowl and add the vinegar and water and mix together. In a large mixing bowl cut the lard into the flour. Add the liquid and mix together. The less you handle the dough the better the crust will be.
When the mixture is totally combined into the dough cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator until ready to use.
